Yoga and meditation are the basics of the best lifestyle in ancient times, but perspectives have changed with time. We all are craving to rediscover our passion and traditional lifestyle. The lost art of Yoga and its philosophy is one of those patterns. Retreats and courses of yoga and meditation are helpful in training people and informing them about the body. Retreat is a short-term course; there are other options too, like a one-month or 15-day course. The fee structure and other information are structured according to the needs of the candidates. With basic information on yoga and meditation, we are inviting you to attend this retreat in Rishikesh, India.

Our Perspective for Yoga & Meditation

There are very few arts that can align your physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Yoga is a way of living to express and to know the truth of life and death. It is more than any physical posture, while meditation brings calmness to life. They both teach us self-discipline, self-love, and mindfulness. They give us the strength to face our fears, validation and judgments. Overall, they are working on the physical, mental, psychological, spiritual and material aspects too. According to the “KARMA” book of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, yoga can help in revealing stored karma (Sanchita karma) in the body. So, whether you're a beginner or someone who dreams of becoming a yogi, this is a step toward the perfect path for a balanced and meaningful life.
